May 3

Teacher Appreciation Week is next week! This year we are
again offering a breakfast and a pizza luncheon. If you would like
to help out with set up and clean up on either days, offer monetary donations
for the pizza luncheon, or provide food, please contact Leslie Proteau at blaproto@comcast.net.
We will need the following for the breakfast on Monday May 7th (7ish AM)-
muffins, bagels/cream cheese, egg dishes, juices, coffee, creamers,
milk, cereal, paper products, bacon/sausage dishes, granola, and fruit.
On Thursday we'll need help with salads, drinks and desserts- 11:30ish. Paper products are also needed. Also, if
your child wants to make a poster or card that we could help decorate
the table with that would be great. They can drop them to Em in the
CBMS office. Please consider helping us out with something during this week
to show your appreciation for all that the school does for your child.
Thank you!

to clean up. Volunteers in Duxbury leave bags and items roadside. She notifies
the town road crew to pick them up. 244-7512 or audreyq@myfairpoint.net

gloves and boots.

you find something that's too large to move, tell volunteers at the Waterbury
drop-off locations. In Duxbury, notify Audrey.

-
This
year especially if you are working in the flood zone, be on the lookout for
objects that could belong to a flooded
household. If you find something that you would want returned if it belonged to
you (like photos or a nice china cup), please retrieve it and bring it to St.
Leo's Hall where the ReBuild Waterbury folks will collect and advertise such
finds. If it is too large to move, snap a photo and tell volunteers at the
drop-off about it.

The Green Up main
office is reminding people to be "tick-smart" if you are working on
Green Up projects in areas with tall grass, brush, lots of leaves where ticks
thrive. Clothes that cover skin and bug spray seem wise. Here's a link to information on the internet from the state health
dept.
